NORD DRIVESYSTEMS’ NORDAC PRO SK 500P VFD series now reaches powers up to 200 hp with multiprotocol Ethernet interfaces, integrated functional safety, and wireless diagnostics
The NORDAC PRO SK 500P variable frequency drive product family from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS is a control cabinet solution designed to handle a broad range of applications with scalable functionally, versatility, and maximum connectivity. Their compact, book-size design enables side-by-side installation without gaps, making it easy to integrate into the cabinet and reduce volume, installation space, and costs.
With the addition of four new frame sizes, bringing the total to 10, the product line now covers a performance range of 0.33 – 200.0 hp, and further expanding capabilities of the NORDAC PRO series. With a high level of performance, safety features, and extensive functionality scope, NORDAC PRO VFDs are adaptable to individual application requirements across industries such as airport baggage handling, intralogistics, bulk material handling, packaging, and many more. They are compatible for operation with three-phase asynchronous motors as well as IE5+ permanent magnet synchronous motors, delivering highprecision control with strong overload capabilities for constant torque applications. Basic variants of the product series (SK 500P) offer full PLC functionality, four parameter sets switchable directly online, an integrated brake chopper, POSICON positioning control, an energy-saving function, a CANopen interface, and parameterization via plug-in control module, NORDCON software tool, or app.
Advanced NORDAC PRO versions include additional inputs/outputs, SK TU5 plug-in control modules, SK CU5 extension modules, and an integrated multi-protocol Ethernet interface that easily connects to Ethernetbased control systems and enables individual parameter configuration. Additional features include a USB interface that is accessible for voltage-free programming and parameterization even without a mains connection, a microSD card slot for data storage and transfer of parameter data between drives and computer interfaces, and a diagnostic interface via RJ12 connection. Versions SK 510P and above offer functional safety options, such as STO and SS1, for safe shutdown to prevent hazards to people and damage to system components. The four new frame sizes are advanced drives available as SK 530P, SK 540P, and SK 550P versions with modules including SK TU5-CTR (ControlBox), SK TU5-PAR (ParameterBox), and SK CU5-STO/MLT. They also feature accessories including mains, DC link and motor chokes, braking resistors, control options, EMV-kits, and more.
NORDCON commissioning and diagnostic software additionally provides fast, reliable parameterization of NORDAC PRO SK 500P variable frequency drives. This free software features a uniform user interface with dashboard-based visualization, enabling easy access to the electronic drive systems for simple parameter management and comprehensive diagnosis. NORDCON offers an oscilloscope function for drive analysis, a help function for rapid parameterization, a backup and recovery functions, and a NORDCON SCOPE function to support application engineers during initial commissioning, drive optimization during operation, and diagnosis for servicing.
Also compatible with NORDAC PRO SK 500P electronic drives is the NORDAC ACCESS BT Bluetooth stick.
The Bluetooth stick provides a wireless connection from a mobile device to the NORDAC drive, allowing full access control for quick checks of operating parameters or viewing of drive history data.
